Printing on two sides

I cannot figure out where in Pages I can specify that I want to print on both sides of the paper. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Double-sided printing is a function of the printer driver for those printers that can do duplex printing. If your printer can do this, check its documentation.
If your printer doesn't do duplex, you want to print the odd & even sides separately. You can do this in the Print dialog in both Tiger & Leopard. Depending on how your printer feeds pages will determine if you want to print one side in reverse order. For my laser printer, first print the even pages in reverse order then the odd pages in normal order, ending up with the pages in the correct order. The setting is found in "paper handling" in the drop-down menu labeled Copies & Pages in Tiger, Pages (or whatever application you're in) in Leopard.

  • Printing on two sides on HP1102w

    Formerly, when I gave the order for two-sided printing, the printer would start, and a screen would pop up telling me to withdraw the paper and replace it below, and then the printer would print the second sides. Now, it begins to print, the same screen pops up but then disappears quickly, and the printer prints the whole document on single- side. How can I get it back to its former behavior? Thanks.

    Hi @norm4,  Thanks so much for getting back to me! 
    I've got a few more suggestions to get your printer running properly again. First of all, do you have any other computers in the house? If so, install the P1102w software from the previous post and try printing double sided from the alternate computer. This will tell us definitively if the issue lies with the printer or the driver on your Windows 7 computer. Also, do you have the printer connected directly to a wall outlet or is it in a surge protector or power bar? Even if you have been using a surge protector/power bar all this time and you feel it is not the cause, please connect it to a wall outlet just so we can eliminate the power source as the root cause. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector
    In this document you will see, ISSUE: Problems or issues may arise when an HP LaserJet series printer is connected to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), a power strip, or a surge protector
    ^ This is not limited to Laserjet printers. If you are able to print double sided from another computer (or don't have acess to an alternate computer), I'd like you to try the steps below.  1. Uninstall the HP printer software from your computer. 2. Use the following steps to delete the printer from device and printers, and the driver from the server properties.
    3. In the Devices and Printers folder (you can access this from the Start Menu)
    4. Choose Print server properties.
    5. Select any printer in the Devices and Printers folder and click Print Server properties above.
    6. Click on the Drivers tab at the top of Print server properties window
    7. Choose the printer you want to uninstall and click Remove
    8. Choose Remove driver only
    9. The next screen will give a warning, letting you know that deleting the driver package will remove it from the system. Click Yes to say that you are sure you want to do this.
       If documents are stuck in the print spooler, you may see an error, cancel any documents pending in the print queue, or try restarting the print spooler, then try to remove the driver from ‘Print server properties again. If it still won’t remove the package, restarting the computer and the printer should resolve this ‘in use’ error and allow the driver to be removed.
        If the you continue to get an 'in use' message follow the steps in the document here; The Specified Printer Driver is Currently in Use - Source Once all of these steps are completed, we can now re-install the computer by downloading a fresh version of the software here: HP LaserJet Full Feature Software and Driver If you are unable to print double sided from an alternate computer you may need to perform a reset on your printer. Please be sure to respond and let me know your results, so I can sent you the reset instructions if necessary.  

  • Change print preference back to one side from printing on two sides

    We have an HP Officejet 6500 E7 10n-z with the duplexer installed. I have set the printer to print front and back and when I want to print on just one side I can't seem to get the printer back to single side. I go to layout and printer setting preferences and it appears to be set for one side but then it prints on both sides. I'm obviously missing a step. Does anyone have a solution?

    Hi,
    Make sure the Two-sided Printing been set to one side both under Control Panel > Printers and under the Preferences settings within the application being used to print.
    While changing from the control panel affect the whole system, changing the settings from any application (e.g. word) will remain as configured by the specific application.
    Open the document you want to print, then click File > Print.
    Clic the Properties / Preferences button within the print dialog, then verify the setting.
    Please let me know of any change,
    Shlomi

  • Latest update causes Brother 5250DN printer not to print on two sides

    The latest OS X v10.7 update included an update for my Brother 5250DN printer.  Now, it won't print on both sides.  After printing on one side, it actually pulls the paper back in, as if it's going to print on the other side, but it comes out blank.  It then prints a separate page with the 'other side's' contents.  It works fine with my wife's computer, since she hasn't updated the driver yet.  Any help with this would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Paul

  • Convert two-side printing to one-side printing

    I have a 6i report printing two-side pages. New changes need deleting back side so I delete the frame and everything on it. But the report still prints two sides, one being the desired and the other one unwanted blank (I know it because HP LaserJet 2100 prints two pages, as if it prints a two-side page report). Our production uses Xerox printers to print two-side pages so I don't want it print the blank, avoid its "overworking".
    How can I delete the unwated blank side/page? What propert should I change?
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks Nagornyi!
    It works, by setting the Hirozontal Panels per Page to 1.

  • Two side printing out of Acrobat?

    does anyone happen to know how to get a two-sided print out of Acrobat X? i have a 295 page numbers help document i want to print out and i can't find this setting no matter how much i look. the Adobe forum seems to be somewhat "windows-centric" but i am going to ask there as well.
    i also tried a "two sided printing" search in the Acrobat help and no results came up.
    TIA for any help on this.

    hi gents.
    thank you.
    i do in fact have a duplex unit the HP 8600 All in One. the driver section for this printer (accessed through the Print + Scan options in Preferences) shows up as "HP OfficeJet Pro 8600" and it has both the Duplexer option checked as well as the "Additional Paper Input Tray" checked. Driver version is 3.3.3. also, note that i DO print on two sides in some of my other software (including docs printing with/from iOS7 on my iPhone).
    i guess i need to check to see if i have the correct driver (?) but can you help me with two things before we get there?
    1. when i hit File > Print in Acrobat i get what looks like a "Mac" printer interface. it doesn't actually look like either of your screenshots (thanks) - even though i /think/ i have seen these before either on the laptop or on the desktop.
    if i click on "Printer" in my dialog i then get a prompt (in this case with an adobe logo) that i have never understood: "The Print Setup dialog box is provided by the operating system. To ensure that you can use the full print capabilities of Acrobat, please set all print options from the Applications dialog box. Do you want to continue? Yes/No".
    does anyone know what this means or what i am misunderstanding in all of this? seems totally bizarre to get the mac print dialog and then get into the Printer button and then get this option especially if i am running a print pulldown option from Acrobat...
    2. i am having to /manually/ put paper tray with the proper paper size into my two tray Espon WF 7520. i want to say that i /don't/ have this problem with the HP 8600 but now that i think about it i am not sure i have ever tried the second paper tray on the 8600. HOWEVER, i /do/ see the Duplexer checkbox option in the Driver settings of the 8600 while i /don't/ see this setting in the Epson WF 7520.
    does anyone know if this is likely (also?!) a DRIVER SIDE ISSUE with respect to not getting any of my software to print to the second tray on the Epson? i mean, if i sherlock holmes this i /could/ say that if i cannot print to the second tray it is likely a old or wrong driver issue or even a implementation that they did not build into the good driver - since i cannot get to the second tray from anything on anything? or would this be incorrect...?
    THANKS

    Hi,
    If you wish to keep print both sides as default, pleae try:
    (a) Double click (or touch) "HP Photosmart 5520" icon (should be one on desktop,
    (b) Click Set Preferences
    (c) In "Lay out" tab, there are 3 options in print Both sides, select "Flip on Long Edge" (normally for Portrait printing)
    (d) Click "Apply"
    You can overwrite this default when printing from applications using Printer properties.

  • My Macs cannot print two sides if using borther HL5370DW series

    My Mac Desktop and Mac Laptop cannot print two sides of one paper when I use brother HL 5370DW.  It started from last week.  My PC cannot print two-sided paper by brother HL5370 DW, and my Mac can print two-sided paper if I use the HP printer on Mac.  I highly suspect the problem is from the updates of Mac.  Do you have the same or similar problem these days?
    I have tried to re-install the brother printer driver, and it did not work.
    Thank you!

    Have a read of this post. These Brother owners found the same issue after a recent driver update and managed to resolve the problem.

  • Two sided prints with /right/ side up

    hi all,
    is there an easy way to print TWO SIDED prints so that the back side is oriented in the same direction as the front side? right now if i click on the two sided print box it prints so that i have to flip the page over from top or bottom (don't want) as opposed to left or right (should be the default IMHO).
    any ideas on where i find this or how i set it? i am printing out of Numbers but i assume this applies mac software wide or something along those lines.
    didn't find any threads on this that were current.
    TIA

    Hi,
    From the application used to print open the printer dialog, then click on ettings or Preferences to access to Printig Preferences dialog.
    Within the Layout tab change the Print on both sides option.
    For a portrait oriented document select Flip on Long Edge, for a Landscape one select Flip on Short Edge, then it will print as expected.

  • C8180 error says two side print module not installed but i have used it before

    my c8180 printer error says two side print module not installed but i have used it before.i reinstalled printer with cd but did not help. Jean

    What operating system? The duplexer typically must be enabled (just once...) in the driver to make it available.  Enable the duplexer as shown in the Vista/Win 7 Duplex Printing Troubleshooting Guide here.

  • Two side printing samsung

    Hi, I have problem with my Samsung printer (M2070). I can't print any document two sided. Before printing i made all setting properly (checked duplexer and two side printing box) Do have any solution this trouble. Thanks!

    According to the specifications for the M2070 on Samsung's web site, this model does not have an automatic duplexer. So that means you will have to manually remove the first printed side and load it back into the paper tray to print on the reverse side.
